Can I remove the background colour of my design?

Last updated 16 June 2026.

Guide

Our design studio includes an automated tool that removes the background from uploaded images.

This option appears when a removable background is detected. Images with solid backgrounds usually give the best results.

Steps to remove the background

1

Upload your image
